That might be one of the funniest unironic things I've ever seen on this site. 

Cease will be an all star

Based on today’s results and yesterday’s supersmart extrapolation methods I guess Cease will win the CY!  Yay!

Cease would easily win the CY award if he got to face the Tigers every time out.

He's objectively one of the best relievers in the game and has been for 3 years, but hey, I'm sure it'd be easy to fill out a pen of guys that are better

He definitely is, but he can be inconsistent and seemed like he struggled in that 8th inning role more last season.  But I haven't compared his numbers last year to previous seasons.

How?  They made all the big moves and are winning the division

If you are talking about the LH Sousa he just turned 27,

Tanner Banks is the lefty being referred to here.

Carlos Rodon 5 IP ,2 BB ,12 K, 1 ER scored on a K that got away from the catcher , slider in the dirt. 12 of the 15 outs were K's. Giants lost 2-1.

Is this Jack trying to calm down somebody else from panicking? That’s the spirit! Everything goes uphill from here. I think Jack just saved the season. 

Nice going, Jack...I knew you could do it.

I'm happy for him, I hope he can do it for a full season.  He wasn't signing here for the QO, so we lost a draft pick that's all. I still wouldn't have taken a 44 million chance on him for 2 years based on his history since he has an opt out after 1 year. In hindsight yes, I would have absolutely signed him , but who could have predicted both Lynn and Giolito would go down before we played 2 games.

They signed him for $3M last year and got an easy $25M worth of pitching from him. Without Rodon the Sox were cooked for the playoffs. If they took better care of him maybe the Sox get home field advantage, and make a run last year . I'm calling the early season injuries this year  "The Curse of Carlos Rodon."
